Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

"Next up is the last contestant from Shanghai University, and also their captain—Sun Yao!!"

Accompanied by the host's enthusiastic voice, Sun Yao strode onto the command platform with a radiant expression.

Compared to the solemn expressions of the others, her face did not show much change in expression, remaining as calm as a still lake.

She stood on the command platform, slightly raised her head, and looked at the Pidgeot in mid-air, which was victorious in battle and full of victories.

"Such incredible fighting power... Is this really an elf that can be cultivated using human talent...?"

Sun Yao's thoughts drifted, and she seemed to return to her childhood in a daze.

..............................

"Grandma, where is this?" Little Sun Yao, with her hair in a high ponytail, looked curiously at the ancient buildings before her with her big, dark eyes.

"This is our family's ancestral land, and also the place where we worship our gods," the old woman, holding Sun Yao's little hand, said with a smile.

【What are gods?】

"The deity is a powerful figure who can ensure our Yao Yao has candy every day."

"Wow, the gods are amazing!!"

"Grandma, the gods are shining! Are they going to give me candy?"

"This...this is a miracle! Our ancestors have blessed us, the gods have protected our Sun family!!"

..............................

That was her memory of the first time she went to the shrine with her grandmother when she was five years old.

At that time, she didn't quite understand the significance of the word "gods" to the Sun family.

I don't quite understand what the glowing light emanating from the statue means.

It wasn't until she grew up that she understood that those who are sincere can receive divine protection.

She received divine protection and became an existence beyond the gifted—the Blessed One!

The name of the deity is --

God of Water Purification!

According to legend, wherever the God of Water passes, countless polluted water sources will return to their purest state. He is a genuine deity who rules over all waters.

He is the supreme ruler of all water-type spirits in the world!

She was absolutely convinced of this.

Because she truly carries the power of the God of Water Purification.

"Go, Slowking, display the might of my god!"

Sun Yao's lips did not move, but her mind had already formed a connection with the dazed king.

Awesome!

A crested, upright elf with pink skin appeared in the arena.

Slowking is one of the evolved forms of Slowpoke.

Compared to Slowbro, which can evolve when its tail is bitten by Shellder, Slowking is undoubtedly much less common.

Furthermore, compared to the slow-witted and dull-witted Slowbro, Slowking is almost a model of a wise man who appears foolish but is actually wise.

Each Slowking possesses considerable intelligence and strength.

【Item to carry: Water Purification Stone (Top Grade)】

[Potential: Master Level]

[Racial stats: 490]

Special Bonus: 1. Champion's Offspring: Energy quality increased by 80%, meaning the power of all moves is increased by 80%.

2. Blessing of the God of Water Purification: A divine blessing bestowed by the protector of the God of Water Purification, greatly increasing the power and range of water-attribute moves, and greatly increasing the recovery speed of stamina and energy.

3. Proof of the King: A special inherited treasure that merges with one's own kingly power, allowing an elf with a special bloodline to transform into the king of the race. This grants immunity to all negative statuses equal to or lower than one's own level. When leading fellow elves in battle, the overall combat power increases, with the increase depending on the size of the race.

4. Purification (Temporary): After the Water God's servant activates their bloodline, this temporary buff grants all water-attribute moves a purification effect, capable of removing all positive or negative status effects from the target.

"The God of Water Purification?"

Looking at the dazed king's panel, Mu Yun instantly thought of a perfectly round, dull pebble—the Moonstone.

He remembered that the Moonlit Pure Stone was formed by combining the power of the Moonlit Pure Stone with the power of the Moonlit Divine Essence.

He didn't know which divine beast the Moonlight Divine Power originated from, but the Myriad Water Purification Stone most likely came from this divine beast called the God of Water Purification.

When Mu Yun thought of water-type divine beasts with purifying powers, a somewhat comical image inexplicably popped into his mind.

However, considering the expressiveness of Delacion and the Martial Arts Bear Master, Mu Yun felt that such a scene was unlikely to occur in the real world.

"Is it to prepare for the accelerated effect of purifying and removing the turbulent waves?"

Mu Yun snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the panel to analyze.

The effect called purification was clearly only temporarily activated.

Judging from its effect, Sun Yao probably intends to use a wide-range water-attribute move to reduce the speed of the wave, and then use the bonus brought by the "blessing of the Water God's servant" to slowly wear down the wave.

Overall, the plan is very good.

Unfortunately, the current wave of wind has already stacked dozens of Sky-Breaking Wings, and its speed has reached a terrifying level.

"Both Pokémon are in position, let the match begin!"

"Slowpoke, surf!"

Almost the instant the referee's voice fell, Sun Yao immediately transmitted her voice to Daidaiwang.

Just as Mu Yun had thought, Sun Yao's plan was to use the surf with its extremely wide attack range to cover the entire field, thereby removing the blessing of the longer and faster the waves, wetting its wings, and turning it into a drowning bird.

However, just after she confidently transmitted her voice...

Instead of the sound of Slowking gathering surf, the sound that filled the arena was a piercing whooshing sound, and...

"Ya-dong!!!"

Slowking, who was just standing in the middle of the field, suddenly fell to the edge of the field, letting out a painful howl.

Beside her stood a figure with an enormous wingspan—Namikaze!

That's right, this time Namikaze didn't use the long-charged Storm, but instead used Swallow Return the moment the referee's voice fell.

..............................

【Swallow Return (Limit Break +5, 0/6000): Skill casting speed +200%, flight speed +200% during use, skill energy consumption -80%, power of all own flight-attribute skills +60%.】

..............................

The speed boost from triggering the Sky-Piercing Wings dozens of times, along with the speed boost from Swallow Return, made Namikaze's attacks as swift as lightning.

Even a Slowking at the late stage of the Dojo level wouldn't have time to react.

Not only was Dazed King caught off guard, but Sun Yao was also completely unaware of the situation.

You were using ranged attacks before, weren't you?

Why the sudden change of tactics?

"call--!!"

Just then, a hurricane roared!

Flying-type ultimate move – Continuous Storm!!
